<p>First published in 1926, &ldquo;The Secret of the Ages&rdquo;, was one of the earliest and most influential self-help books that popularized the power of positive thinking. Written by the American author, editor, and researcher Robert Collier, &ldquo;The Secret of the Ages&rdquo; encourages readers to use the newly emerging psychological tools of visualization, faith, and personal development, to make their greatest dreams and wishes come true. Collier&rsquo;s work is encouraging, uplifting, and full of practical guidance for those who wish to improve the quality of their lives beginning with their mindset. Collier&rsquo;s ideas were popular during his own lifetime within the &ldquo;New Thought&rdquo; movement and gained even more prominence after being referenced in the hugely successful movie and book &ldquo;The Secret&rdquo;. Rhonda Byme, author of &ldquo;The Secret&rdquo;, credits Collier with giving her the idea for her own method to self-improvement. Byme says of Collier&rsquo;s book: &ldquo;The glimpse came in a hundred-year-old book, given to me by my daughter Hayley.&rdquo; Those looking to improve their life and state of mind will continue to find inspiration and useful advice in this timeless classic.
